REDESIGNING POPULAR
MUSIC STUDIO
Becky bond
THE BRIEF
The music students were asked to generate
some ideas of how they would decorate their
working space.
I was paired with Michael who wanted a
timeline / family tree with portraits of
musicians ranging from around the 20s up
to the 00s. His area to decorate is the
stairwell. It provides good light, lots of white
wall space.
I started by choosing Billie Holliday to draw.
She was prominent through the 50s and
60s, and is still beloved to this day. the
design has to be made to suit the vinyl
material it will be cut out from. With this in
mind, I decided to draw in a single line style.
This was also in part due to Michael showing
me some art styles he liked.
I also drew Frank Sinatra to sum up the 50s/60s. I found lists of best selling artists from the decades and they helped
inform my choices.
I then reconsidered the materials it would be made from and designed a new style through trial and error which I thought
would work well with vinyl of 2-3 different colours. I redrew Billie in this style. Then, I sent them to Michael to check if he
liked the styles, which one best and if he liked my choices of artist.
I started to play around
with composition,
combining a sheet music
blank with the portraits.
We had both discussed
whether the portraits
should stand alone or
interact with the lines. I
liked the idea of
combining them.
I began testing some ways to create the sheet
music ribbons. The first one was created using
the pen tool then adjusting individual points as I
created each new line. The second, I began
adjusting widths separately to create the illusion
of 3D. The third, I used the 2 outermost ribbons
and then used the blend tool set to specified
steps – 3.
I sent all 3 of these to Michael to ask which best
fit his vision.
I arranged the portraits so they would line up with an ascending sheet music
It was nice to be given the opportunity to
make something with somebody else in
charge of where the design was going.
It emphasised the need for strong
communication skills and taking and giving
criticism.
The outcome matches Michael’s vision well.
